IMPROVEMENT IN ATOMIZERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l 86,208, dated January 16, 1877; application filed November 14, 1876.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM KENNrsH, of the city of` New Brunswick, in the county of v Middlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements i. in Atomizers, which improvements are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.

The object of my invention is to supply a compact, durable, and efficient atomizer by a direct unionpot' an elasticv bulb with a liquidreceptacle, the atomizing apparatus being all i i vcontained within the continuous chamber thus formed.

Figure 1 of the drawing accompanying is a vertical section of the apparatus, A being an -elastic bulb, provided with a collar, D, and

punctured at the side by a hole for the reception of the metallic frame E. The collar D is expanded over the neck G of the bottle B,

nected by the two arms to the inner flange of the frame and the groove.H, into which the vedge of the hole in the elastic bulb contracts,

thus holding the frame in its place, as shown in Fig. 1. 4

Fig. 3 is a view of the disk-valve, penetrat- Fig. 4 is the liquid-pipe, provided with screw N, which connects with the frame E by screwing into the support K.

The 'disk-valve having been lrst placed within the frame E, the nozzle of the pipe M is brought into juxtaposition with the minute hole in the disk, as shown in Fig. 1. Holes inthe frame outside ofthe liquid-pipe connection allow the air to pass from the bulb into the disk-cham ber.

The operation is as follows: The bulb is compressed by the hand, which expels the contained air through the minute hole in the disk past the nozzle of the liquid-pipe, which, by a wellknown law, will draw the liquid up from the bottle to the nozzle, Where, meeting with the air-current, it is expelled in a vaporous cloud at the discharge-hole F. The pressure upon the bulb being released by the hand,

-the disk-valve opens to admit air, and the bulb expands to its normal shape.

I claim- 1. The combination, in an atomizer, of a liquid-receptacle with an elastic bulb by expanding the elastic collar ot' the bulb over the neck ot' the bottle or other vessel, as described, thus forming a continuous chamber.

2. The combination, in an atomizer, of a liquid-pipe rising i1 the bulb, with a perforated disk in'the side of the bulb, as described.

3. The valvular disk, centrally perforated by the minute hole, which serves, upon cornpression of the bulb, as an outlet for vapor, and upon expansion of the bulb as au intlet for air in an atomizer, substantially as described.
